Wooden Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
Wooden cold-pressed coconut oil (Kobbari/Thenginakai in Kannada) is a traditional, natural oil extracted from Dry Coconuts using a wooden mortar and pestle-like contraption, often called a "Chekku" or "Gaana." Unlike refined oils, cold-pressed oils are extracted without the use of heat or chemicals, preserving the oil's nutritional value and purity. This method allows the oil to retain its natural flavor, aroma, and essential nutrients, making it a preferred choice for health-conscious individuals.
